it be the summer of 1959, and the smartly-trimmed lawns of Sunnylakes, California, wilt under the solar. At some aspect all over the long, long afternoon, Joyce Haney, spouse, mother, vanishes from her domestic, leaving in the back of two terrified children and a bloodstain on the kitchen flooring. A beguiling, deeply atmospheric debut novel from the cracked heart of the American Dream, The lengthy, long Afternoon is without delay a gripping secret and an intoxicating imaginative and prescient of the techniques by which girls everywhere are diminished, silenced and eventually beneath-estimated.
